Ind. Courts - "Hancock courthouse work reveals historic features"
From the Indianapolis Star:
Greenfield -- A $6 million renovation and historical restoration of the Hancock County Courthouse in Greenfield has taken longer than planned, but officials say they're happy with the result.
"It's going to be a real great asset to the county to have it done," said Armin Apple, a county commissioner.Workers have uncovered some of the old building's features that had been hidden by previous renovation work. A dropped ceiling, for example, had obscured a large, domed rotundalike ceiling in the Circuit Court.
The courthouse was originally completed on New Year's Day 1898.
Workers have repaired and repainted molded trim, cleaned historic murals and added new glass doors at courthouse entrances.
In previous years, county officials hired crews to upgrade the building's exterior, including the addition of a new roof.
